You may have noticed a pause in my recent scoop-it activities. I've been on the road the last few weeks have taken me to conference presentations in such diverse locations as Palm Springs, CA (95°), Ottawa, Canada (35°) and Northbrook, IL (34°). BRR!!!

But, I had to take a moment to feature this incredible new development in the world of reading. Google has managed, though still only in BETA, to bring the digital reading experience not only a bit closer to the paper-based reading experience with "Google Nose" providing readers with the actual smells of reading, previously only available while reading a finely aged old paper book. And not only have they managed to bring the smell of old books to the reading experience, they've also brought the smells of the 15M+ scentibytes of its Google Aromabase to the entire computing and searching experience.

Be sure to watch the "Introducing Google Nose" video to see how this amazing advancement works. And be sure to read the press release linked to in the "Scratch and Sniff" books link below the video.

Google has established itself as the "go to" search engine, not only because "Google Knows"but now because "Google Nose!"
